Location
Garrison’s
Tsaagaan Staiur Project (“TSR Project”) lies about 550 km
southwest of Ulaanbaatar in the Bayankhongor Province. Garrison
has entered into an agreement with Asia Intercept Mining to
transfer an exploration license to wholly owned subsidiary
Garrison Asia LLC. The 4 km2 license covers a series of gold
mineralized quartz veins in the Steppe country of south-central
Mongolia.
Geology
The TSR project
lies within a gold mineralized system. In addition to surface
geochemical anomalies showing strong gold mineralization,
local
“Ninja” miners have exploited the gold veins within the mining
license to a maximum of 15 meters depth using hand mining
methods. The Tsagan Tsahir Chinese-Mongolian JV mine, which lies
just south of Garrison’s land position, is producing gold from
narrow high-grade quartz veins similar to those mapped
throughout Garrison’s license. Further testament to a gold
mineralized system is a long history of local alluvial gold
production from river gravels derived from this area.

The TSR project is located
within granodiorites of the Arvayhaar Igneous Complex, and is
cut by northeast trending mafic to felsic dikes. A regional N –
NW- trending fault structure transects the property as
identified from landsat images. This structure may have created
conjugate sets of gold-rich N-S and E-NE trending shear veins
and NE-trending tensile veins and dikes. |
With the exception
of the “Main Vein”, veins at TSR are typically several cm up to
50 cm in thickness at the surface, traceable for several
kilometers and may, based on local mining patterns, increase in
width with depth. The veins are composed of milky to blue and
grayish quartz with local millimeter-sized oxidized and leached
voids left by weathered sulphides. Thin micaecous selveges of
muscovite, chlorite and sericite, occur along vein boundaries.
Fifteen distinct veins have been mapped by exposure in outcrops
and surface pits throughout the mining license. Samples of these
veins contain in excess of 3 g/t gold.
The
“Main Vein” forms a high, northwest-trending ridge in the center
of the project area. This vein is over 10 meters wide and is
composed of milky-white quartz, with rusty stains along some
fractures. This vein contains anomalous gold, and is the focus
of exploration for a large, low-grade, bulk mineable gold
deposit at TSR.
Exploration
Plan
Garrison plans to
augment surface mapping of gold-bearing veins with a regional IP
program in early 2007. Geochemical samples of veins will also
be
sampled to corroborate their gold content as measured by
previous reconnaissance-scale exploration efforts on the
property. The most promising veins will then be drilled to test
the lateral and vertical extent of gold mineralization.
